    Breathe sound normal?

    Yess I think its like yours. Soaking and looking around for food is what make her do it. Its loud but she knew food was coming after bath. I put 2x 4x2 zenhabitat together so she have 8x2. 1 side is more humid and lower temp (25) and the other side is with light and CHE. She go between those 2...

    Just found mine on his back today after work(more on the side scute). Im pretty sure that she was there for 6-8h...poop everywhere. It was in his water bowl but it looked like she throw some substrate in it before so there was no more water. She was looking pretty fine...no weird sound...
